This Teng Impact Socket Set is designed for professionals and serious DIYers working with air tools. Its key benefit is providing durable, high-grade metric impact sockets for demanding automotive applications. A crucial caveat is that these sockets are specifically for air tool use and should not be used with power tools. The set includes 10 common metric sizes on a convenient clip rail, manufactured from chrome molybdenum alloy steel for longevity and compliance with ANSI standards.

No, these sockets are specifically designed and rated for *air* impact tools only. Using them with electric or battery-powered impact wrenches can cause them to break unexpectedly and is unsafe.
A 6-point socket has six internal contact points designed to grip the flats of a hex (six-sided) fastener. This provides a more secure connection and reduces the risk of 'rounding' the corners of the bolt or nut compared to a 12-point socket.
Chrome molybdenum (Cr-Mo) alloy steel is known for its high strength-to-weight ratio and exceptional durability. It's specifically chosen for impact tools because it can withstand the high torque and shock loads without fracturing.
While they will physically fit a 1/2in drive manual ratchet, they are optimized for the rapid, high-torque impact of air tools. For general manual use, standard non-impact sockets are often preferred. However, they can be used manually for stubborn fasteners if necessary, but always exercise caution.
The set includes 10 metric sizes: 10mm, 11mm, 12mm, 13mm, 14mm, 17mm, 19mm, 21mm, 22mm, and 24mm.
The sockets come mounted on a clip rail, which is ideal for storage. Keep the rail in a dry, organized location such as a toolbox or workbench drawer to prevent corrosion and loss.
Ensure you are using a 1/2in drive socket with a 1/2in drive impact tool. Check for debris in the socket's drive opening or on the tool's anvil.
Ensure the correct size socket is fully seated on the fastener. If the fastener is excessively worn or damaged, consider using a specialized bolt extractor or applying penetrating oil.
Discontinue use immediately. This indicates the socket has been subjected to excessive force, used with an incompatible tool (e.g., a power impact wrench instead of air), or has a manufacturing defect. Replace the damaged socket.
Setup: This socket set requires no initial setup beyond ensuring the sockets are correctly seated onto your 1/2in drive air impact wrench or ratchet. The sockets come pre-mounted on a clip rail for organization.
Compatibility: The primary compatibility is with 1/2 inch square drive impact tools. **Crucially, these sockets are designed and rated exclusively for use with *air* impact tools.** They are *not* to be used with electric or battery-powered impact wrenches, hammer drills, or other powered tools, as this can lead to breakage and potential injury.
Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Teng Impact Socket Set:
